  • The Survival of the Confraternities in Post-Reformation Dublin
    The Survival of the Confraternities in Post-Reformation Dublin COLM LENNON St. Patrick 's College, Maynooth When the Reformation came to Dublin in the 1530s it might have seemed as if the age of the confraternities or religious guilds of the city was over. As elsewhere in Europe, these institutions provided conduits for obituar- ial prayer for members and their families, welfare for the deprived, education for the young, and pomp and pageantry for citizens during the civic year. Handsomely endowed with gifts of money, lands and houses, the guilds gave employment to an increasing number of lay-ap- pointed chaplains who celebrated mass at the confraternal altars in the parish churches of Dublin. By the early sixteenth century the guilds had acquired the titles to properties yielding hundreds of pounds per annum in rents from estates in the city, suburbs and vicinity. Membership incorporated men and women from all social orders within the munici- pality, although the preponderance of patrician brothers and sisters in certain key guilds such as those of St. Sythe's in St. Michan's, St. Anne's in St. Audoen's and Corpus Christi in St. Michael's parish was to be a significant feature of their later survival into the seventeenth century. Con- tinuity with medieval devotions was enshrined in the practices and pieties of the guilds, those of St. George and St. Mary's, Mulhuddard, providing an awning for holy wells to the east and west of the city, for example, and the fresco behind the altar of St. Anne's denoting veneration of the holy family.

  • General Synod 2015 – Primus' Charge He Was a Good Man, Full Of
    General Synod 2015 – Primus’ Charge He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Barnabas was of course the encourager. As we approach the work of our General Synod, we should be encouraged - we too should be full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Jesus tells us that 'we should love one another as I have loved you'. And the pinnacle of Christ-like love is the love than which there is no greater - to lay down one’s life for one's friends. I hear those words of scripture as themselves an encouragement to us - an encouragement to transcend what we expect of a General Synod; an encouragement to strive to act as a community of faith and of love as we transact our business - some of it routine and some of it about things which stir passions; an encouragement to sustain visible unity in Christ as we do God's work together. There are many things in the work which we shall do during the next few days which in themselves are encouraging. I think particularly of the development of the Scottish Episcopal Institute, the continuing development of the Whole Church Mission and Ministry Policy, the breadth of our interests and concerns as expressed in the work of the Church in Society Committee, the quality, faithfulness and the missional shape of our administration. The most significant challenge to us as a Christian community comes as we address the questions around Same-Sex Marriage. In this too, we should be full of the Holy Spirit and of faith - people who love and sacrifice for one another? I believe that that time has come when we must address this fundamental issue of our times.

  • John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal
    John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal Ágnes Juhász-Ormsby The Episcopal Library of St. John’s is among the few nineteenth- century libraries that survive in their original setting in the Atlantic provinces, and the only one in Newfoundland and Labrador.1 It was established by John Thomas Mullock (1807–69), Roman Catholic bishop of Newfoundland and later of St. John’s, who in 1859 offered his own personal collection of “over 2500 volumes as the nucleus of a Public Library.” The Episcopal Library in many ways differs from the theological libraries assembled by Mullock’s contemporaries.2 When compared, for example, to the extant collection of the Catholic bishop of Victoria, Charles John Seghers (1839–86), whose life followed a similar pattern to Mullock’s, the division in the founding collection of the Episcopal Library between the books used for “private” as opposed to “public” theological study becomes even starker. Seghers’s books showcase the customary stock of a theological library with its bulky series of manuals of canon law, collections of conciliar and papal acts and bullae, and practical, dogmatic, moral theological, and exegetical works by all the major authors of the Catholic tradition.3 In contrast to Seghers, Mullock’s library, although containing the constitutive elements of a seminary library, is a testimony to its found- er’s much broader collecting habits. Mullock’s books are not restricted to his philosophical and theological studies or to his interest in univer- sal church history. They include literary and secular historical works, biographies, travel books, and a broad range of journals in different languages that he obtained, along with other necessary professional 494 newfoundland and labrador studies, 32, 2 (2017) 1719-1726 John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal tools, throughout his career.

A stunning image of the sun, moon and the stars reflecting in a stained glass church panel will adorn a new series of stamps unveiled by An Post today to mark the 150th anniversary of the Disestablishment of the Church of Ireland. The new national €1 stamp bears the image of the iconic panel that graces the window of the Cathedral of Saint Fin Barr in Cork city. Alison Bray reports in Independent.ie. [email protected] Page 2 January 8, 2021 The new series, designed by Dublin’s Vermillion Design company, pays homage to the Church of Ireland’s break from the Church of England and the State when it was officially disestablished on January 1, 1871. The act, along with the introduction of Home Rule and the Land Act under then British Prime Minister William Gladstone was among his efforts to deal with the so-called ‘Irish question’ while removing the status of a State church “that had commanded the allegiance of only a minority of the population,” according to An Post. Commemorative postage The Most Revd Dr Michael Jackson, Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glendalough, gave his blessing to the new series. He said: "Disestablishment has enabled the Church of Ireland to be free to shape its own future.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year.
